We. o.r Last N,.-.,.. a.s.,,

a very queer state of Affairs came Ia
ot Mcckcr In no small degree. m the
question of the legality of the last elcc-
ton Is brought into serious doubt.
At the last session of the General
Assembly law was passed providing
that incorporated towns Of the second
and third class shall elect n Mayor for
the term Of one year. two Trustees for
one year. two Trustees for two years
and two Trustees for three years. II
became law on the 7th Of March. In
time for Town Rccor,icrs 10 issue the
election call under the new Law. In
M.ckcr. as IN over hundred other
towns. nothing was known Of the new
law. and the elections proceeded under
the old law. viz: Mayor and live
Trustees. all for the term OF one year.
After the election 1t WAS evident that
some towns had elected six Trustees.
and this caused great excitement all
over the State. The State officials were
flooded with inquiries in regard 10 the
matter and the Attorney General has
rendered an opinion which will settle
the matter until such time IL Is brought
mp In the Supreme Court. lie says the
new law was In effect the date men,
toned above and elections hereunder
were legal. while those under the old
law were Illegal. But the acts Of the
Trustees chosen under the old law will
he valid and binding No long as the
Trustees TILES arc not questioned.
Without doubt the Trustees could be
oustei by quo warranto proceedings.
but II would probably bc at least year
before decision would be reached by
the Supreme Court. No practical re.
suit could Ike accomplished by legal pro-
ceedipgs against the Trustees. rs their
terms expire In year.

report comes TO us from the Lower
white to the effect that the late ex-
pedition tn Douglas creek was barren of
good results. inasIn,lch as the officer
In command Of the squad OF troops
went back to the Agency and reported
that the Utes were all on the rescrva.
ton. We can hardly credi, this report.
The Agent ut Uin,ah and the command.
ing officer at Fort Duchesne know full
well that the White River U.es are no,
on the reservation and that their pres.
ence on White river and Its tributaries
is anything but desirable to the set
tiers rs the recent horse stealing by the
Indians will attest.
